A developer with the Devuan [distrowatch.com] project has created a fork of the GTK2 toolkit with an aim to maintain it, provide fixes, and make it possible for older applications to remain compatible with the GTK toolkit. While GTK2 has not been maintained upstream for years, and it has been dropped from the latest versions of some distributions, it was the basis for many applications, not all of which have migrated to GTK3. The announcement thread [devuanusers.com] has more information and the code has been published [devuan.org] in Devuan's git repository.
